------------------------------------------------------
syz.0.484/7826 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888023f88608 (sb_internal){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: __sb_start_write include/linux/fs.h:1633 [inline]

ffff888023f88608 (sb_internal){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ext4_evict_inode+0x2b9/0xea0 fs/ext4/inode.c:213

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888023f8abd8 (&sbi->s_writepages_rwsem){++++}-{0:0}, at: ext4_writepages_down_write fs/ext4/ext4.h:1779 [inline]
ffff888023f8abd8 (&sbi->s_writepages_rwsem){++++}-{0:0}, at: ext4_ext_migrate+0x2f1/0xff0 fs/ext4/migrate.c:437

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
